The beloved BBC comedy 'Ghosts' is coming to life on the big screen! 🎬 But this time, it's not just a TV show—it's a feature film! 🎥
The iconic series is being transformed into a cinematic adventure, and the excitement is already brewing among fans and industry giants alike.
BBC Film, Lionsgate, and BBC Studios have joined forces with Monumental Television to bring us 'Ghosts: The Possession of Button House'. The original stars and creators, including Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, and Martha Howe-Douglas, are back with a brand-new story. And they're not alone! Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie, and Kiell Smith-Bynoe will also grace the screen, adding fresh talent to this beloved ensemble.
This film is a dream come true for producers Alison Owen and Debra Hayward, who are renowned for their exceptional work in both film and television. And with Simon Hynd, the director of the original series, at the helm, the project is in capable hands.
But here's where it gets controversial—the creators never intended to return to Button House! They bid farewell at the end of the final series, but a brilliant idea sparked their enthusiasm to revisit this haunted home. And we're glad they did! As they say, "We can't wait to... tell this soul-stirring tale of life and death." A story that promises to be both hilarious and heartfelt.
The film has already sparked excitement within the industry. Eva Yates from BBC Film expresses joy at bringing 'Ghosts' back, while Marie-Claire Benson of Lionsgate UK is proud to champion British filmmaking. And with BBC Studios distributing worldwide, this film is set to reach a global audience.
'Ghosts: The Possession of Button House' will be filmed at the picturesque West Horsley Place in Surrey, capturing the essence of the original series. And with the success of the US version and international adaptations, this feature film is poised to become a global phenomenon.
